Virtue is more than a word: it's a way for us all to live, a way to flourish as human beings. And when applied to organizational life, virtue serves to enhance engagement, strengthen relationships, and foster success in business. Picking up where the acclaimed Exception to the Rule left off, Better Humans, Better Performance connects the classical Greek virtues-Trust, Compassion, Courage, Justice, Temperance, Wisdom, and Hope-with authoritative science that can help you achieve the highest performance.

The authors draw on these virtues with a purpose-driven approach to every aspect of organizational success, including: cultivating excellence in leadership; the keys to performance-based teamwork; why engaged organizational culture is so vital; character education for families; integrity as a growth market; the science of resiliency; and coaching and deliberate practice for high performance.

Performance is a direct byproduct of getting better at "who we are." With its practical focus on helping you make this a reality by using the seven virtues, Better Humans, Better Performance unlocks a key component of attaining the highest performance in your organization.
